MORTALS PAY THE PRICE WHEN GODS PLAY WITH FATE ** Kihrin D'Mon is a hunted man. He destroyed a dangerous artefact, unwittingly freeing countless demons, and now faces an empire's wrath. So he escapes to seek allies - others marked by the gods. He runs into Janel Theranon, who wants Kihrin to help save her people. Her story is compelling, but can he handle a secret rebellion, a rampaging dragon and their mutual enemy Relos Var? It's not tempting. Especially as Janel believes Var possesses the Name of All Things, one of the most powerful magical artefacts in the world. If she's right, surely nothing can stop him from getting what he wants. And what Relos Var wants is Kihrin D'Mon.
